He stared straight through the lens, dying of cancer, watching his nation slip into the dark.
In one of his final interviews, the Shah of Iran issued a chilling warning to a naive Western world:
“Stop trying to ‘understand’ the radicals.
Stop trying to establish ‘dialogue’ with them.”
They mocked him. They lectured him on tolerance. They called his caution paranoia, convinced you could reason with fanatics who worship martyrdom.
Then the lights went out.
Modernity was ripped away overnight. Women were stripped of their autonomy. Dissent was met with the crane and the noose. Forty-six years of hostage-taking, terror, and crushed human potential followed—all because the free world mistook weakness for diplomacy.
He didn't just diagnose Iran’s demise. He predicted ours.
The Shah wasn't paranoid.
He was right.
22-year-old political prisoner Iliya Ben-Rashid faces imminent execution risk in Iran.
Detained during Iran’s National January Uprising and currently held in Dastgerd Prison, he has been handed a death sentence by the regime’s sham courts under the fabricated charge of "Moharebeh" (enmity against God).
Be the voice of political prisoners on death row. Do not let the Islamic Republic’s execution machine take another young life in silence.

"The mayor is being very dishonest with voters right now. One, it is flatly not true. Number two, legislation prohibits that. It's not even allowed." Toronto mayoral candidate @BradMBradford fires back at the Olivia Chow campaign's claims he would privatize municipal water.
The Shah was right about everything.
There's a reason why the Communists and Islamists hate him and the Pahlavi Dynasty.
There's a reason Iranians want the Pahlavi Dynasty to return and free Iran from the terrorist Islamic Regime.
The entire world owes our Shah an apology.
Standing with the people of Iran against tyrannical rule is standing with the world for peace and economic prosperity.
Please research your candidates in the #USA election. #Iran#ForeignPolicy affects the globe.

For nearly half a century, Iranian Americans have helped build and strengthen this country through their contributions to business, medicine, science, and education.
Today, I call on my fellow Iranians in America, and on every American who values freedom, peace, stability, and economic security, to make your voices heard at the ballot box this November, and to consider the freedom of Iran as an important issue when casting your vote.
Because a free Iran is better for everyone.
It is better for the people of Iran, who deserve to live with dignity, speak freely, and choose their own leaders without fear.
It is better for the world. For more than four decades, the Islamic Republic has armed militias, financed terrorism, and destabilized its neighbors. Its actions have claimed countless innocent lives and spread violence, chaos, and insecurity across the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.
And it is better for the American people. Today, the Islamic Republic’s disruption of the Strait of Hormuz is driving economic pressure all the way to American gas pumps and grocery stores. A free Iran means secure and open shipping lanes, more stable energy markets, and a nation of 90 million people ready to trade and cooperate with America instead of threatening it. There can be no lasting peace or stability with a regime whose leaders chant “Death to America.”
That is why I urge you to vote and to encourage your family and friends to do the same. Ask every candidate, Republican or Democrat, whether they understand that the problem is the regime itself.
As you cast your vote, consider where each candidate stands: with the Iranian people or with those who oppress them.
The Islamic Republic is not the solution to the crisis. It is the root of the crisis. And the only lasting solution is to remove that root, the regime itself.

Emotional moment two women blinded under Islamic regimes meeting each other for the first time.
Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband threw acid on her face because she was fighting for women's rights against the Taliban. As her face burned, he told her: now I have taken your eyes and your face, people will be scared of you, so I dare you to go out and talk to people.
I invited her to come on stage with me and talk directly to thousands of people in Poland.
She met Kosar, an Iranian woman who was blinded by the Islamic Republic during the Woman life Freedom uprising.
We are now together stepping into Jewish history in Poland, including Auschwitz, and understanding the connection between the Holocaust and the Islamic Republic’s massacre on 2026.
If any of you think it’s easy to live under Islamic republic or Taliban just listened to their stories.
These women are not fighting for themselves. They are fighting to protect democracy everywhere from the most dangerous cancer, which is called Islamism.
SECRETARY RUBIO: I think what President Trump has exposed is that the number one driver of instability, war, conflict, and the number one obstacle to peace in the Middle East is the Islamic regime in Tehran.
@IranIntl_En The regime in Iran has to murder 21 year old villagers. How can anyone not see the tyranny taking place in Iran and defend this regime? So many in the west stand with it. It’s a signal to how much immorality roams and how it’s normalized in the west too.
#BREAKING: Zakaria Amara, the leader of the Toronto 18 terror plot which planned to detonate bombs and open fire in crowded areas and BEHEAD then-prime minister Stephen Harper, has been granted full parole after he was determined to have demonstrated "positive change."
Jewish global citizens know what the holocaust looked like. They see the human devastation in Iran and speak up when others refuse to. But the western world relabels Iran’s movement as “Mossad” led and pretends the lives lost do not matter or exist. Bystanders are enablers.
Iran executed someone every 4.3 hours in the past year, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA). That’s 2,003 executions in 12 months.
These are young people. Every single one of them is a whole lifetime.
So many of us say that if we had lived through the Holocaust, we would have done something. We would have taken action. This is that same kind of moment.

@KevinVuongxMP We believe we are helping the Middle East but real help means supporting and end to hate and a promotion of prosperity and peace principles that help all humans who have endured conflict for too long.
